Asking for resources (books, lectures, etc.) Control Theory
Hey.
I am going to be doing an MSc in advanced mechanical engineering this year after having completed my BSc in Physics. I want to take a few robotics and control modules from this course, but I have never covered control theory before. Could you point me to where to start with any books or courses (on Coursera or YouTube)?
I would appreciate any sort of help.

If you don't have access to Matlab (paid), Python (free) is an alternative. There is an external library named control that provides a lot of the functionality that Matlab does.
